Jerry,

I decided to bet my future on .NET. Just paid $1100.00 for the VB connection in Orlando, Fl. I read VB.NET book and now in the process of finishing the introducing .NET book.

I love the promiss of the .NET !

Can you tell me where I am wrong..? I do not want to spend the time, money and energy in product that will "comes crashing down"

I think version 8 may be the last one, but the nice thing, IMO, is that Microsoft has pulled VFP out of the the Visual Studio .NET group. It won't go down when the .NET comes crashing down. Any company foolish enough to put their data onto the Microsoft ".NET" deserves to lose control of it, just the way Microsoft handed their family jewels over to the Russian hackers. Fat-client-server solutions to business problems will be around for a while.
